I am a dual US-AUS citizen. Born and residing all my life in Australia. Australian tax resident, working and earning AU dollars in Australia. Have never resided or worked in the US. My bank (also Australian) is now concerned I'm an overseas tax resident, so I need to provide proof of Australian tax residency via Certificate of tax residency and certification of overseas tax relief for individuals n75441.
- Do I leave question 7 blank? (Australia is not one of the jurisdictions required and my bank is Australian (as am I) - so is Australia the jurisdiction?)
- And should I tick for a generic certificate? Or fill out 'other?'
- Timeframe: Does it take longer to process this certificate if I select multiple years? I think I only need a year or two for my bank but I'm considering asking for longer in case I have issues again.
Question 13: For the time period(s) indicated at question 9, is there an applicable private ruling or a competent authority determination relating to the entity’s tax residency status?
- I'm not sure what this means. What would be an example of an applicable private ruling or a competent authority determination relating to the entity's tax residency status? If I am simply asking for a proof of Australian tax residency for my bank, would I select NO ?
